Three Treasures of OPM

Treatment of any illness, disease or disorder becomes simplified with OPM’s Three Treasures. Please note Dr Chang did not come up with the term “triple gem” or “three treasures” or “three jewels”. These are informal terms used by many OPM students, who are Buddhists, to describe the preciousness & importance of antui, wenfu and jiangtang in OPM treatments.

*Antui massage 按推 (‘press & push’ manipulation) is OPM style massage technique where elbow or knuckle or thumb is ‘pressed’ deeply onto the origin point, followed by ‘pushing to and from’ the depressed soft tissues for a few seconds. There is a rubbing motion but no friction or gliding over the skin. To be effective, the pressure while doing antui massage must inflict some pain on the patient but it must be bearable.

Another very important internal heat source is within our body – by doing physical exercises our muscles & tissues are put to work and produce heat. This generated heat increases our bodily heat-energy.
